I have a problem where I can't send or recieve email thorough outlook using my ISP provided mail. Along with that problem isanother - I can't visit my ISP's web site. Something is obviously routing that information away from my view.

My System32 file is no where to be found, and now upon startup, some Fax program is trying to install!

Command line options: /verbose - to add additional info on each section /complete - to include empty sections and unsuspicious data /full - to include several rarely-important sections /force9x - to include Win9x-only startups even if running on WinNT /forcent - to include WinNT-only startups even if running on Win9x /forceall - to include all Win9x and WinNT startups, regardless of platform /history - to list version history only

And you have an HP right? If thats so, you need to activate the entries that the reg cleaner pulled out. For some reason in HP computers it takes out the fax install key, that makes windows keep installing it.

RegistryFix found 38 problems, most were related to Flowchart development software that I recently removed.

On reboot, the fax installation dialog opened again and after McAfee loaded, I got a message from Windows that there is no Anti-Virus software loaded on my computer. Still no access to my email through Outlook and still no access to my ISP's web site.

Download WinPFind and extract it to your C:\ folder. This will create a folder called WinPFind in the C:\ folder. don't do anything with it yet.

boot into safe mode

Inside c:\WinPFind is a file called WinPFind.exe. Double-click on this file to launch the program. Once it is launched, click on the Start Scan button and wait for it to finish. This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works as it can take a while, upwards to 30 minutes or more.

WARNING: not all files found by this scanner are bad. Consult with a knowledgable person before proceeding.

If you see a message in the titlebar saying "Not responding..." you can ignore it. Windows somethimes displays this message due to the high volume of disk I/O. As long as the hard disk light is flashing, the program is still working properly.

----------+ This report excludes default entries except where indicated.+ To see *everywhere* the script checks and *everything* it finds, launch it from a command prompt or a shortcut with the -all parameter.+ The search for DESKTOP.INI DLL launch points on all local fixed drives took 80 seconds.+ The search for all Registry CLSIDs containing dormant Explorer Bars took 12 seconds.---------- (total run time: 128 seconds)
